Reducing the risk of another heart attack or stroke
A new AHA program aims to help people reduce their risk of having another heart attack or stroke. The program’s science-based advice ranges from taking prescribed meds to keeping follow-up medical appointments, getting exercise and seeking moral support from loved ones and fellow survivors. Following such guidance can pay big dividends: Experts say up to 80% of heart attacks and strokes may be prevented through a combination of medication and healthy habits.
